TortoiseSVN and subversion global-ignore

I'm having trouble convincing TortoiseSVN to respect my Subversion svn:global-ignores repository property. No matter what I tried, it still lists all the files that should be ignored, as not versioned and available for fixing.

My svn:global-ignores installed in the root of the repository (pay attention to bin and obj near the end):

 *.o *.lo .la ## .*.rej .rej .~ ~ .# .DS_Store thumbs.db Thumbs.db *.bak *.class *.exe *.dll *.mine *.obj *.ncb *.lib *.log *.idb *.pdb *.ilk .msi .res *.pch *.suo *.exp ~. cvs CVS .CVS .cvs release Release debug Debug ignore Ignore bin Bin obj Obj *.csproj.user *.user _ReSharper.* *.resharper.user

What can I do to not show all these bin and obj folders? On the previous machine, I used the TortoiseSVN global ignore property, but I want these files to be ignored by all developers without the need to set this field on every new machine that we configure. I misunderstand what does SVN global-ignores do?

CollabNet Blog Note :

It was assumed that the ignore patterns in svn:global-ignores property can be separated by any space (similar to the global variant of ignoring runtime), and not just newline characters (as with the svn: ignore property), but there is an error in 1.8.0 and only Newline templates work
